White Avenue Closes To Traffic In La Verne For 5 Months

LA VERNE, CA — A portion of White Avenue in La Verne will be closed to motorists for the next five months as construction continues on the Foothill Gold Line Project.

The street will be completely closed to pedestrians and motorists at the railroad crossing for construction starting Monday. Some of the construction work includes underground utility work, median construction and new track installation, according to the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority.

White Avenue should reopen by April 30, 2022, the agency said.

Traffic reroutes through Wheeler Avenue, and motorists can use Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Highway as alternative routes.

The Foothill Gold Line Project is a 9.1-mile extension of Los Angeles Metro's L Line, formerly Gold Line, from Glendora to Pomona. The extension will add six stations to the line and construction should be done by early 2026.
